Chapter Seventy-Four: Killing

Empty!

The huge treasure trove is empty!

There isn't even a copper plate on the smooth floor!

No way!

Victor subconsciously closed the door, and then pushed it open again.

But there was still nothing.

He rushed into the treasure vault, slapping every floor tile, banging every wall tile.

He hopes to find a secret room.

It's full of money and equipment.

Pity.

The sound of percussion and the touch were telling him that it was solid.

"How is that possible?"

Victor couldn't help but mutter.

With the population and affluence of the surrounding city, there must be a great harvest in the treasure house, how could there be nothing.

Don't......

Am I in the wrong place?

But the previous direction, the footprints left on the ground, and the secret imprints on the door all show that this should be the treasure of the ring city!

Victor stood up suspiciously.

Then, having quickly thought of something, he immediately stood up and rushed out.

But just as he rushed to the door of the treasure vault, a figure stopped him.

Be......

Habitat King!

One of the three kings of the ring city, his whole body trembled as he looked at the empty treasure house.

"Victor!"

The voice of resentment almost squeezed out between his teeth.

Although the treasure vault around the city is not their private vault, it is still one of their important possessions, and even occupies an extremely important corner of their plans.

Now, it's been emptied!

There is no trace of the boxes containing money and equipment items around.

Obviously, the other party should have used the Legendary Array to transport these things to the world that belonged to the other party.

Is this what the other party is for?

Set up bureaus layer by layer, using the core of the [Philosopher's Stone] as bait to plot their property!

Unforgivable!

Qi Wang, who instantly thought of everything, made a move without hesitation.

"Die!"

An invisible wave spread towards Victor.

The speed was so fast that Victor had no chance to dodge before he was enveloped by this invisible wave.

Bang!

Suddenly, the flesh and blood of Victor's whole body exploded directly, and his internal organs flew sideways.

If it was just an agreement with the Crimson Skull before, and it was more of a void and a snake, then, at this time, King Qi really wanted Victor to die.

Therefore, King Qi did not keep his hand at all.

However, contrary to the expectation of the king of perch, it was too easy.

Victor seemed to have absolutely no room for resistance.

This is not what it expected.

"Humph!"

With a cold snort, as soon as King Qi raised his hand, a piece of flesh and blood on the ground flew up and shot into the distance.

Immediately, King Qi followed.

At the same time, a message was passed to the Wren King and the Fang King.

The Wren King, who was rapidly approaching the King of Qi, his face sank, and the killing intent in his eyes became even stronger.

And the Fang King, who was entangled with the white bear man, roared again and again.

"Damn!"

"Damn it!"

The sudden roar made the white bear people stunned, but the white bear man, who came back to his senses immediately, waved out another paw: "What is it called?" Someone has stolen your house! ”

……

In the shadows, Victor held his breath.

He didn't know how long his 'stand-in' would be able to fool King Qi.

However, he knew that if he was not careful, he would die without a place to be buried.

What's going on?

Why did the seamless plan change so many times?

How could he, who was invincible in the past, encounter this?

Am I cursed?

Victor, who involuntarily came up with this thought, immediately shook his head.

If he was really cursed, with the strange thing he was wearing, it was impossible not to have the slightest omen.

But if it's not cursed, how can the current situation be explained?

A lot of thoughts poured into the brain in a short period of time.

Even a calculating man like Victor is a little confused.

But he knew what he was supposed to do.

There is nothing in the treasure trove around the city.

That......

What about the private treasury of the Three Kings?

Before entering the ring city, he had learned about it in detail.

In addition to a so-called 'treasure house', the Three Kings of the Ring City also have a private treasure house, which is much smaller than the treasure of the Ring City, but it is a real boutique!

If he was able to take the contents with him, his losses would be enough to make up for it.

You may even be able to make a considerable profit.

I didn't choose there before, because I was worried that it would completely arouse the vigilance of the three kings.

And now?

I can't care so much about it!

He lost another 'stand-in', and if there was no way to make up for it, he really had to die.

Thinking of this, Victor quickly took action.

The private treasury of the Three Kings was not in that hall.

Rather, behind the main hall.

It wasn't far from the treasure house around the city, and Victor was there in a few breaths.

Looking at the arcane imprint on the door, which was far more repeated than the previous treasure house, Victor nodded.

The more arcane sigils there are, the more valuable they are attributed to the contents inside.

Again, Victor took out the sword and threw it straight away.

Same as before.

Venom, acid, flames, and lightning are endless.

There was also an inexplicable force that continued to erode his stabbing sword.

"The power of the curse!"

"Also, not only on the door, but also in the sky and underground, it is also shrouded in such power!"

Sensing the power above, Victor took a slight breath.

No one would like the power of a curse.

Victor is no exception.

Therefore, when the power began to spread along the hilt, Victor chose to give up without hesitation, and he immediately cut off the connection with the stabbing sword.

Airplanes!

The sword trembled several times.

It's like a wail.

Layers of decaying rust appeared on this stabbing sword, and eventually—

Syllable!

With a crisp sound, the sword shattered completely.

Blade fragments fell to the ground.

Victor didn't even look at it.

He walked straight to the door of the Three Kings' private treasury.

Stone texture, carved with a wolf roaring at the moon.

And on the back of the wolf is a small bird and a fish with individual wings.

Victor, who has learned about the history of the ring city, immediately understands that this is the King of Fang, the King of Wrens and the King of Perch.

They are using their own 'imprint' to protect their wealth.

It's really normal for weirdness.

But it's useful.

Victor was sure that as soon as he pushed open the door, the Three Kings of the Ring City would immediately know what was going on here, something more mysterious than the previous defense of the arcane seal.

However, unlike the arcane sigils of defense, these are more to confirm the identity and appearance of the intruder, so that they can be easily tracked.

If Victor had estimated before, at this time, he didn't care at all.

His identity and appearance are known to the three kings around the city.

Deal......

Start over with a different identity.

It's not like he hasn't done anything like this.

As long as you have enough resources, everything is not a problem.

Therefore, he was too lazy to do so, and entered here from underground, although he had originally intended to do so, but now he did not.

Raise your hand, and Victor will push open the door of the private treasury.

But the sudden sense of danger in his heart made him turn around and stand there with his back to the door of the private vault, facing outward.

And in less than a second, a crimson figure appeared in Victor's field of vision.

"Your ambitions are bigger than I thought!"

"My collaborator."

"You never thought of working with me, and you never wanted to get rid of your name as 'Inquisitor.'"

"You even want it to shine brightly."

"You blew up the Ring City, and you became their hero."

"Now you, as long as you go back, you will definitely be praised and sung."

"But you're not satisfied."

"You're still eyeing the treasure trove around the city, no, it should be said that from the very beginning, the treasure trove around the city is part of your plan, and you need to use it to turn those false praises and singing into real rights!"

"Am I right?"

"Victor!"

The Crimson Skull spoke slowly, but by the time it came to the last sentence, it was a fierce drink.

"I said it was all a misunderstanding......

"Can you believe it?"

Victor asked rhetorically.

"Misunderstanding?"

The Scarlet Skull sneered.

There was Victor's sarcasm in that laughter, but more of a self-deprecation of himself.

That's right!

It's self-deprecation!

Crimson Skull has always thought that he has the winning stake and is in control.

But when the ring blew up, it reacted, and everything was not as it thought.

Its collaborator was more cunning and ambitious than it could have imagined.

And it?

I can laugh at each other before.

In doing so, it naturally suffered.

However, such a bitterness, it is enough to eat it once.

Definitely not eat the second ...... No, the third time!

Thinking of the empty treasure house around the city, the crimson skeleton silently changed its oath, and the hatred and killing intent towards Victor in front of him became stronger and stronger.

Silently, in the pores of Victor's body, drops of blood overflowed.

In an instant, Victor was a bloody man.

He wanted to struggle.

But he was powerless to struggle.

His blood was binding him.

"Your powers are special."

"But it's also very flawed."

"So, I'm not going to give you a chance to use it!"

The crimson skull said, its skeletal palm squeezing violently.

Crunch!

Victor, wrapped in blood, seemed to be thrown into a compressor, crushing bones, muscles, and internal organs little by little.

Crimson Skull, of course, has a way to make Victor die instantly.

However, it was reluctant to do so.

It wants to make the other person taste the pain.

The Three Kings also thought so.

On the actual gate, the eyes of wolves, birds, and fish with individual wings shone brightly.

It is clear that the Three Kings are looking at everything with their sigils.

When they saw a little compressed Victor, they burst into happy laughter.

Especially when he heard Victor's painful snort, the statue of the wolf on the stone gate almost seemed to come to life, running back and forth on the stone door, howling back and forth.

The bird kept crying.

Then, he jumped up to the fish with its own wings and sang happily.

"You're going to regret it!"

A little compressed Victor made his own voice.

The voice was hoarse and full of resentment.

However, none of the people present cared.

"Do you mean your doppelganger?"

"Believe me, even if it's just a clone, His Majesty's ability is enough for us to find you!"

"And then ......"

"Just like you at this moment, you are being crushed by us little by little!"

The Crimson Skull said gloomily.

It is clear that the collaborators in front of them have quite a lot of small means.

It's not easy to kill each other.

It doesn't mind going the extra mile and trying a few more times, though.

And, it vows that every time it will make the other person feel that life is worse than death!

For the sake of his oath, the skeletal skull's skeletal palms moved slightly, and the milky white, thumb-thick things, like maggots, slowly crawled out.

These maggots look bloated, but they are fast.

After a few clicks, he burrowed into the compressed Victor's body.

Suddenly, there was an extra bite sensation on the internal organs compressed by Victor.

Involuntarily, Victor snorted again.

Such a muffled grunt made the crimson skeleton feel satisfied.

"That's where it is!"

"It's just getting started!"

As he spoke, it began to manipulate more maggots to crawl towards Victor's eyeballs and brain.

"They'll bite one of your eyeballs first."

"Then, crawl out of that eye socket of yours, lift your Heavenly Spirit Cover, and enter your mind."

"Why do I do this, you ask?"

"Because, I want to see more of your painful appearance!"

Just like Crimson Skull said.

When the eyeball was bitten and the Celestial Spirit Cover was lifted, Victor endured the pain of the inhuman.

He wanted to faint.

But while the maggots were eating him, they were secreting certain fluids, which made him feel a chill in his brain.

He became incredibly sober!

Even, I can keenly feel the difference between those maggots and their bites in each bite.

It's so uncomfortable!

So when a maggot pounces on his brain, Victor blew himself up.

Bang!

With a muffled thud, Victor turned into a puddle of flesh.

Looking at the flesh mud wrapped in blood, the breath of the crimson skull was extremely gloomy.

It did not expect Victor to have such means.

Of course, more importantly, it gets some cryptic information.

Before Victor blew himself up, his bugs had already bitten the other man's brain.

Not much.

Just a small piece of the brain.

But it was enough to let it know that Victor, its collaborator, was planning how to use the Stinkwater River to blow up the ring and cause chaos the moment he saw the Stinking River.

What a damn thing!

He's been laying out for so long, I didn't even notice it!

The Crimson Skull cursed to himself.

The crimson skeleton then dutifully informed the Three Kings of its discovery.

After hearing the description of the Crimson Skull, the aura of the three kings on the stone gate changed for a while.

The Fang King roared incessantly.

The wren king also jumps back and forth.

Only the king of Qi is different.

This naturally peculiar and strange silence suddenly attracted the attention of the other two kings and the Crimson Skull.

"What do you say......"

"Will Victor, who has planned all this, really let go of the most valuable of his entire plan: our private treasury?"

King Qi seemed to be asking, and it seemed to be talking to himself.

But after such words fell, the Fang King and the Wren King were startled, and the body of the crimson skull skeleton was also shocked.

"Crimson, hurry up and open the door and see!"

The Fang King couldn't help but say.

The Crimson Skull didn't act immediately, but looked at the Wren King and the Perching King.

The Wren King and the Perch King nodded at the same time.

The Crimson Skull immediately walked over to the stone door, raising its skeleton's arm and pushing it towards the door.

Before you knew it, its skeletal arm was shaking.

Because, what King Qi said is really scary.

If that's really the case......

The soul fire in the eyes of the crimson skeleton, which was completely unexpected, quickly beat a few times, and then slammed into force.

Squeak!

The stone door opened.

Inside......

Empty!

The scarlet skeleton collapsed to the ground.

Finished!

It's all over!

The Fang King, who was fighting with the white bear people, ignored it, gritted his teeth and took a hard blow, then turned around and ran towards the underground ring city.

The wren king in front of him seemed to cry and laugh, and his speed was ten times faster in an instant.

On the way back, King Qi's face sank like water, and the killing intent on his body was boiling.

The Three Kings returned to the Ring City.

They passed through a ring of ruined cities.

They passed through the Ring Treasure Vault, which had been emptied.

They stood in front of their own treasure trove, which was equally empty.

The faces of the three kings kept changing.

Crimson.

Bruising.

Burst!

The Fang King, who was already injured, couldn't hold back any longer, and a mouthful of blood spurted out.

Mixed with blood, the Fang King roared miserably.

"Victor!"

"Good, Victor!"

"This king will kill you!"
